National Convention.

The third National Convention of the lead
ing Cigar Manufacturers Association met
recently at the Fifth Avenue Hotel, Phil
adelphia, and the deliberations on the SUBJ
ject Of asking Congress 10 abolish the tax on
cigars resulted In a vote OF II for, and %
against the proposition. Some OF the Tesolu-
lions passed were very complimentary to the
government system of revenue from this
source as they claimed 1t TO be protection
rather than hInderance to the trade. Some
other very important business was trans
acted, and the meeting adjourned to enjoy a
grand banquet.
The importance Of GAINESVILLE as a tobacco
market, and as a shipping point for the lux
ui0us plant is becoming world famed In
September last party Of English gentlemen
came to America 10 attend convention at
Washington City, and as some of them were
Interested in tobacco, they took time by the
forelock and visited Cincinnati, Louisville,
GAINESVILLE and Richmond. Upon their re-
turn to England one of the party furnished
facts and figures to several leading English
newspapers, and the articles speak highly of
the tobacco from this section, and of our to-
bacco merchants; the many warehouses and
stemmeries that are here, and particularly OF
the constant increase of the tobacco trade for
the past several years. The information
about this city as priated, covered one coll
nmn In most of the papers, and represented
GAINESVILLE as next TO Louisville in point OF
| the bulk of tobacco handled.

RUM IN AFRICA.

A Continent to BE Flooded with Strong
Drink-A Deadlier Evil Than the Slave
Trade.
That the drink traffic is becoming to
Africa deadlier evil than the slave
trade is statement which may startle
some readers, yet it is most certain.
1t is deadlier in it's incidence and wider
in its area of RIGHTEOUSNESS. No one
will dream of regarding Sir Richard
Burton as a Temperance fanatic, yet
in his book on Abbeokula, after speak
ing of the ravages wrought by rum
and war, he adds: cit is my sincere
belief that if the slave trade were re-
vived with all its horrors and Africa
could get rid of the white man with
the gunpowder and rum which he has
introduced Africa would be gamer
in happiness by her exchange" And
here is the testimony of an extremely
able native gentleman, from whom L
shall make several quotations-Hon.
Rev. James Johnson, the native pastor
of the Island Of Lagos. In an eloquent
SpccCu3 DIT Tic IleLlOlldl uo6tluS DIT
Princes Hall, he said: 81 may be al
lowed to refer to the work of emanci-
patton. Many hundreds and thou
sands of slaves were set free, giving
joy and pleasure to many a heart. The
work, however, in which your interest
is being solicited is far greater work
than that. [Cheers. / say greater, be-
cause workof the pastwast to deliver the
body of the slave from the grips of the
slave-dealer; but the work we have to
do now is to deliver the mind, the body,
the soul. the spirit of the native race
from the power of the great European
traders. The work we are now try
ing to do affects all the races Of the
world, and | should like to see, as the
outcome of this meeting, strong
movement for the suppression of this
traffic among native races. L repre-
sent here tonight Africa country
with a population of over 200. 600, 600.
This country, SC large, with people

A GOOD BUSINESS.
Why Farmers Have No Good Cause to Be
Dissatisfied with Their Calling.

Why Farmers Have No Good Cause to Be
Dissatisfied with Their Calling.
Farming is good business, when
made business of. Idleness, igno-
rance and thoughtlessness never made
money in the clearinghouse, manu-
factory or store; they have never made
money on the farm. The same ele-
ments that bring success in the city
bring it in the country. The same
traits OF character are the foundation
stones of prosperity and happiness
everywhere. Farming does pay, when
it should pay. A knowledge that is
never satisfied with its own attainment;
an enterprise that continually submits
to good Judgment; an energy that will
not rest short of achievement these
bring success in agriculture, in manu-
featuring, or in commerce.
Too many men are dissatisfied with
their occupation when they should be
dissatisfied with themselves. Not the
farm but the farmer is at fault. Farm
work is not mean work, unless meanly
done. If rightly done, it is as much
brain work as manufacturing or trad
ing. If the farmer is dissatisfied with
his work because it is of low grade
he convicts himself of being a low
grade farmer Farming is hard work,
but then it is healthful work. 1t tires,
but it brings good appetite and sound
slumber. The farmer is not crowded
in foul factory or confined in small
office. And if the work is hard, what
of thatP Who mas found easy work
that is we'll paid for? Labor-saving
inventions have made Framework much
easier for the muscles than it was thirty
years ago. If it taxes man too much
now it is because he is behind the times
| or lazy.
The man who, born and bred in the
country, desires to leave his farm and
90 to the city, is to be pitied some
what, and likely, more to be despised.
He is to be pitied because he is foolish
enough to suppose that in the city he
would get the same pay for less work,
or more pay for the same work. The
| city is crowded full of laborers. Even
those most skilled in city occupations
find it hard to get steady work at liv-
ing wages. He has not the skill re-
| quired in the city; he must be COM
mon laborer, and among common la
borers competition is to the death. On
the farm he has skill; in the city he
has not-on the streets excepted. How
can he expect to receive more for
labor without skill than for labor with
skill? If he engages. in business in the
| city he encounters competition as
sharp and against it he must contend
without the aid of special training.
We are almost justified in calling it
| sheer luck if he is successful, in COM
| petition with a hundred that, though
trained in their business all their lives.
must fail in nine case out of ten. Al
most every man who leaves the farm
and engages in business in the city,
loses all he has. Better it's to hold fast.
The farm is certainty; the city prob
lematical, save the well-nlgh certainty
of failure. 1t is poor policy to sacri-
fee skill; better to hold fast to IT'D

WHEN OLD JACK DIED.


When Old Jack died, we staid from school
(they said,
At home, we needn't go that day., and none
OF us ate any breakfast-only one,
And that was papa-and his eyes were red
when he came round where we were, by the
shed
Where Jack was lying half way in the sun
And half way in the shade. When we begun
To cry out loud, pa tn ned and dropped his
head
And went away; and mamma she went back
Into the kitchen. Then for long WHILE
All to ourselves like, we stood there and
cried
We thought so many good things of Old Jack,
And funny things - although we didn't
smile
We couldn't only cry when Old Jack died.
When Old Jack died, it seemed human friend
Had suddenly gone from Us; that some face
That we had loved to fondle and embrace,
From babyhood, no more would condescend
10 smile on us forever We might bend
with fearful eyes above him, interlace
Our chubby fingers DER him, romp and race,
Plead with him, call and coax-aye, we might
send
The old halloo up for him, whistle, hist,
or sobs had let us) or, as wildly vain,
Snapped thumbs, called speak and he
We might have gone down on our knees and
kissed
The tousled ears, and yet they must re-
main
Deaf motionless we knew-when Old
Jack died
When Old Jack died, it seemed to us, some
way
That all the other dogs in town were panied
With our bereavement, and some that were
chained,
Even, unsipped their collars on that day
To visit Jack in state, as though to pay
A last sad tribute there, while neighbors
craned
Their heads above the high board fence, and
deigned
To sigh Poor dog" remembering how they
Had cured him, when alive perchance, be-
cause,
For love of them he leaped to lick their
hands
Now, that he could not, were they salts
fed?
We children thought that, as we crossed his
paws,
And DER his grave, way down the bottom
lands,
Wrote "Our First Love Lies Here"
when Old Jack died.

The great underlying evil which
paralyzes every effort to get good laws

How Young Man May Be 3
Nobody.

1t is easy to be nobody, and we will
tell you how to do it. Go to the
drinking-saloon to spend your leisure
time. You need not drink much now;
just a little beer or some other drink.
In the meantime play dominoes,
checkers, or something else to kill
time, SO that you will be sure not to
read any useful books. If you read
anything, let it be the dime novel of
the day; thus go on keeping your
stomach full and your head empty,
and yourself playing time-killing
games, and in few years you will be
nobody, unless you should turn out a
drunkard or a professional gambler,
either of which is worse than nobody.
There are any number of young men

graduate and be nobodles. = Watch

There are many kinds of sleeves in wear
this season. The full bishop style gathered
into velvet cuff is growing in favor daily.
Pulled sleeves are without end, and a new
leg mutton model is shown, with bead or
silk embroidery at the top and around the
wrists The real Italian sleeve is much
used with artistic dress, and also upon chill
dren's picturesque gowns. Persian colors
are largely employed for indoor dresses.
These are combined with velvet with ele-
CANT effect the bodice and sleeves to these

There appears to be tendency to length
en- Jackets for the autumn and to make them
of more even lengths all around but the
iaunty Jacket with short back is likely to
remain as long as aggressive touFnure is
worn. New jackets may be jersey fitting,
or only three quarters snug, with slightly
loose fronts adjusted by single dart Very
many single bseasted coats are brought out,
but most of these have revers turned back
on each side, or vest is inserted which may
be quite plain, or of soft fabric gathered
like blouse-a graceful style also pictured
above The points at the front are extra
long, making the jacket an excellent one for
short-waisted persons. There is a shorter
pointed waistcoat that may button up the
back under the Jacket if desired Caps are
added to the coat sleeves, and the collar is
high military style There are many Tapped
Jackets with fancifully shaped fronts, partly
diagonal and partly straight-C. d. f.

Temperaro instruction in Michigan.

The newly-amended Scientific Tenn
perance Instruction law in Michigan
takes effect September 9. 1t provides
that instruction shall be given in phys
iology and hygiene with special refer
ence to narcotics and their effects upon
the human system. The instruction
shall be given by textbooks where the
pupil is able to read and as thoroughly
as any other studies pursued in the
school. The proportion of space that
books must give to the SUBJECTS stated.
The books must first be approved by
the State Board of Education, and the
school board are subject to fine or for

to all schools in the State, including
schools in cities and villages, whether

A diamond of considerable size
was found near GAINESVILLE, Ga, not
long since, that has been variously es-
timated by experts to be worth from
twelve hundred to fifteen hundred
dollars. 1t is being set in its rough
state, and will be on exhibition soon.
Fine diamonds have been found in this
country, and large quantities of fex-
ible sandstone, the matrix of the d.

therefore reasonable to infer that many
of these precious stones will yet be

for by those who would know them
